Off-Market & Distressed
Every year, 120+ private files cross our desk: unlisted villas, pressured sellers, quiet developer allocations. Our clients buy from that flow at an average 11.4% below asking. The portals get what is left.
The Source of the Spread
Nobody sells a prime asset below value for fun. They do it because something else matters more than price: speed, silence, or a deadline. Our job is to be standing there, capital ready, when that moment arrives.
Refinancing falls through, covenants tighten, the bank sets a date. The owner needs a clean, fast, certain buyer. Certainty is the currency, and it buys a discount.
Visa plans change, relocations collapse, holding structures stop making sense. When a residency clock runs out, a property that took years to build gets sold in weeks.
Two parties, one asset, zero desire to wait for the perfect price. Court timetables and settlement pressure produce some of the deepest discounts we see.
Heirs in three countries, none of whom want to manage a villa on another continent. Executors want a documented, dependable close, not a bidding circus.
Developers quietly release blocks of units below list to trusted buyers before launch. The public sees the launch price. Our clients saw the earlier one.
Some sellers cannot afford a listing photo, let alone a for-sale sign. Discretion is a condition of the deal. In exchange for silence, the price moves.

Details anonymized. Sellers in this flow require confidentiality: that is exactly why the files never reach a portal.
How Access Works
We do not email these files to a list. Access is personal, qualified and quiet, because that is the only way sellers keep giving them to us.
A private consultation. Budget, strategy, financing status, timeline. We only send files to buyers who can actually close them.
A short confidentiality agreement. It protects the seller, and it is the reason you get to see what others never will.
Only deals that fit your brief: numbers, comparables, seller situation, and our honest read on the real value.
A typical file holds for about 48 hours. You review, we negotiate, you decide. Then the window closes, one way or the other.
Limited Mandates
When a decision window closes, the file moves to the next qualified buyer. The deal still happens. The only question is whose name is on it.

The Marbella villa was never advertised. That is the entire point of working with them.

Because for a pressured seller, price is not the scarce thing: time and certainty are. A bank deadline, a court date or a visa expiry makes a clean buyer who closes in weeks worth more than a higher offer that might close in months, or not at all. We bring that certainty, and the spread is what it earns.
Less than most people assume, if the work is done. The discount itself is the safety margin: entering 10 to 18% under comparable value means the market has to move against you before you touch your own capital. And we survey everything: title, structure, service charges, arrears, tenancy status. If a file does not survive diligence, it does not reach you.
A buyer-side fee, disclosed in full before you commit to anything. No hidden margins, no double representation. Our economics are simple: we earn when you close well, which is why the negotiation is fought on your side of the table. The exact terms depend on your mandate; we set them out in the first consultation. Book it here.
Files circulate briefly: a typical decision window is about 48 hours. That does not mean deciding blind. It means arriving prepared: brief defined, financing pre-arranged, structure ready. Buyers who do the preparation with us before the file lands are the ones who win them.
